Thoughtful, intentional and made with care

Custom orders are for those who want something truly unique, made just for them. Together, we’ll collaborate to bring your vision to life.

 

I make clothing and bags for adults, children and babies. I don’t currently accept requests for homewares, alterations or repairs. 

This isn’t fast fashion. Every custom order is:

  • made by one pair of hands

  • cut and sewn slowly

  • finished with care

  • ready when it’s ready!

 

If you’re looking for something instant, this offering isn’t for you 🤍

How it works

1. Get in touch: fill out my contact form to introduce yourself and share your idea.

2. Chat and plan: we’ll discuss your vision and if I'm happy to proceed, I’ll present you with a quote and pattern/fabric options.

3. Pay a deposit: if you decide to go ahead with the commission, you’ll pay a 50% deposit and I’ll get your measurements.

4. Create: I’ll make your piece slowly and carefully, in my studio, using responsibly sourced materials.

5. Pay the balance: when your piece is ready, you’ll pay the remaining balance and I’ll get your gorgeous new garment to you.

Materials I use

I try to only work with sustainable and ethical materials, including:

  • ex-designer deadstock fabrics – breathing new life into leftover materials that might otherwise go to waste

  • GOTS-certified fabrics – organic and sustainable from start to finish

  • Oeko-Tex certified textiles – safe, non-toxic and free from harmful chemicals

  • Lyocell – a closed-loop fibre made from wood pulp, with minimal environmental impact

  • natural fibres – such as linen, hemp, wool, organic cotton and bamboo

  • recycled materials – reducing demand for new resources.

 

Every fabric has a story, and every piece I make reflects that intention.

Pricing

Because I use high-quality, responsibly sourced materials and take the time to make each piece by hand, my prices reflect the true cost of ethical, slow fashion.

 

Final prices depend on the fabric and complexity of your project. If a price feels high compared to the high street, remember: the high street externalises labour, time and environmental costs. I don’t.

Availability

To ensure I can give each commission the attention it deserves, I only take on a small number of projects at a time. This allows me to balance commissions with my other workstreams and avoid burnout.

If you’re curious or have an idea you’d like to explore, drop me a message to have a no-pressure chat. I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for supporting this small, slow business. It means the world to me.
